RF Remote Control Option     39
The RF remote control is a narrow band  low power device and does not have the 
jamming immunity of the spread spectrum modem used by the  MSI-3460 to 
communicate to the remote display. Powerfu l sources of RF energy in the 418MHz 
region can jam the remote and prevent it from operating. In this  circumstance, trying 
either of the two other available RF  remote frequencies (433MHz and 315MHz) 
might solve the problem. Before ordering the RF remote control option, some...

7.0 RF Remote Display Option
7.1 Introduction
The MSI-3460  can communicate with peripheral de vices using RS-232, 802.15.4, or 
802.11/b,g,n WiFi. Only one communication  type can exist at a time. Due to the 
difficulty of dangling RS-232 cables from  a hanging crane scale, the RF options are 
more commonly used for gathering weight data.  The RS-232 port located on the right 
side of the MSI-3460 is useful for setup and calibrati on using a computer and MSI’s 
SCCMP...

7.2 Printer/Serial Output Setup
The RS-232 comm port is capable of outputting tension data. All the weight modes 
the RF linked weight device can measure are available in user formatted form. The 
control mode programs are what causes the MSI-3460 to print. The modes are: 
• When an assigned F-Key is pressed, one transmission of the selected string type 
is output. 
• On Load- When the tension on the link is stable, one transmission will output. 
Then the tension must...
